Leggings - I practically live my life in these. I guess that's the case for most of us. A pair of black leggings and we are sorted! Thank gods (fashion) for inventions like these. And, they have come a long way and have taken many forms since their inception.
Even though many other fashions have come, the leggings have weathered the storm and are here to stay. But, do we know everything? It turns out that after all these years, some of us still make rookie mistakes when pairing leggings.
And that's what we'll discuss in detail. Check it and see for yourself where you are in the game of leggings.
Wearing the right leggings is the most important part of this puzzle. Leggings can not be too tight or too loose. Make sure they fit perfectly to your body without tracing the shape of the body/celluloid. Nor should they be so cowardly that you end up looking sloppy. You can always get away with poorly fitting leggings if you pair them with tops that extend well below the hips. Otherwise, it's a pretty unpleasant show.
To avoid any blunder related to sizes, make sure your sizes are correct. Either you measure it yourself, or you do it at the store or at a professional. This is important because the sizes differ according to the brands and knowing your actual measurement will always be useful. Do not forget to go wrong if you are an "intermediary" of two sizes. For example, if you are somewhere between M and L, choose L - or try both before buying the smaller size. Try some brands to be sure.
They extend a little below your ankle, and most of them will give you soft folds near your shins, depending on your size. These are usually worn under long Indian Kurtis, tunics, flowing boho or in winter (associated with boots).
These go with short tops and are an easy option. This may not be an excellent choice for a formal setup, but perfect for everything else. They stop at the calf muscle and the concentration moves there, so if you are not very confident, the length of the ankle might be your best choice.
They are the sexiest of all. Go with almost anything - evening dresses, tunics, jackets, coats, capes - you name it. In addition, all kinds or all kinds of shoes look as good as these.
Mostly used as workout clothes - gym, yoga, walking, hiking, running or even for traveling.
Stir up leggings are back in fashion, and we could not have been happier. Because we can never have enough leggings, do we? You can practically style them with everything in your wardrobe.
We all need to invest in printed leggings and they add a little spice to your outfit. However, be sure to try them before picking them up, as most printed leggings look great on the hanger but fall flat when stretched over the body. It depends largely on the size and type of your body. Do not forget either this fundamental rule: if the leggings are printed, the top must be plain. You can experiment with bright, contrasting colors, but for prints, let the top be monotonous.
The stockings are meant to cover your legs while wearing skirts and dresses. They do not replace the leggings. Stockings, tights, leggings, and tights are all similar but different in their own way; do not deceive yourself or get bogged down.
Athleisure - the choices are unlimited. And, workout leggings are yet another addition to this clothesline. Gone are the days when annoying sweats were your only options.

Initially, the leggings were all white, black or off-white. Then came the colors, the contrasts and later the neon colors. You can make it fun as long as they are not exaggerated and weird.
Some offices have a strict dress code, while some are more forgiving. For the first ones, you can try something called treggings - pants + leggings and pair them with your work shirts, tops, etc. For those of you with a more casual setup, you can do the same with leggings. But make sure your tops run under the hip and do not pay unnecessary attention to the lower body. In addition, if you choose printed leggings, the prints must be small, subtle and negligible.
The best part of leggings is that you can wear them with all types of shoes. From flip-flops and pumps to winter boots and ballet flats, they are all equally beautiful. The only exception to this is gladiators and thong sandals, which might seem clumsy.
You now get leggings specially designed for workouts. However, you can also wear regular leggings up to your knees. In any case, just make sure they are of good quality and that they are not transparent. Otherwise, it can seem very annoying when you sweat and do all these physical activities. You know what I mean?
Leggings are a blessing in winter. You can wear them with hoodies, cashmere sweaters or jackets, or pair them with boots. In addition, if you live in one of the cold countries, you must have heard of fleece leggings. Put your hands on these beauties and stay stylish while being warm this winter.
In summer, opt for leggings with softer fabrics like lycra or cotton. You can wear them under dresses, skirts or even shorts if they are long. For leggings at the ankles and knees, wear them with sleeveless tops or just about anything, but again, make sure there is no puckering camel toe.
If you are winding or if you belong to the plus-size category, you have nothing to fear. Just make sure the top covers the problem area, which is usually below the abdomen to the thighs. In this way, you can camouflage unnecessary celluloid while keeping it chic and elegant. You can also do a lot with overlay and adding definition to the top or any other element with which you associate it.
You can be mature and elegant while being stylish with the right kind of clothes. There is no age limit for wearing leggings. However, respect the dark colors. Black is your best way of security.
Your body type, your age or your figure do not have to dictate the outfits you wear as long as you are comfortable in your skin and you can take them away. And, when it comes to leggings, they are a blessing in disguise - a solution for all your fashion problems.
